[tor-relays] procedure for TBB to use localhost relay

I am running a tor relay - gracemissionstor - and have begun providing the relay name to friends who would like to use TBB. What I have not been able to google yet properly, is what startup/connection procedure is best for those using TBB, _and_ are on the local network - many people come and go
